Techkiddy has reported that Samsung Galaxy Grand, which is code named Baffin and is carrying the model number SHV-E270S / SHV-E270K has already cleared FCC. It resembles Samsung Galaxy S III in looks It further claims that this device will sport a 1.4Ghz quad-core Exynos 4412 processor, LTE connectivity and NFC.

On November 24, Samsung had introduced a dual-SIM variant of Galaxy Note 2 in China. The device, is offering GSM/HSDPA support on both the SIM cards. It is expected that after testing waters in China, Samsung will be launching this device in other markets such as USA soon. Though there are no clear indications about India launch, given how Indian consumers lap on to dual-SIM options, it will be sooner rather than later, that one might see this smartphone in India.
